Fine discorse.  You are to be congratulated.  You are slamming one of
the few SuSE employes active on the list.

note:  Never read the instructions, that's not what they are for.
When you do not know how to accomplish something or for some reason
cannot accomplish something, *immediately* go ask for *free* answers
from *unpaid* list participants.  Under *no* circumstances make an
effort to research your problems and, perhaps learn something that
you *might* contribute.

ps:  To participating SuSE employes:  Thanks for your efforts.
